I'M A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! will return to our TV screens on November 19 - two weeks later than its usual air date.

As excitement builds and line-up rumours continue to swirl, ITV have confirmed the 2017 premiere of the show will hit our screens in less than three weeks time.

The show, which has consistently been one of the channel's biggest hits since it began in 2002, has always been fronted by presenting powerhouse duo Ant and Dec.

And despite Ant's struggle with prescription painkillers and alcohol, which saw him complete a two month stunt in rehab earlier this year - both of the regulars will be back to front the show.

Previous reports had suggested the popular TV host would not be heading to the jungle this year.

However, Scarlett Moffatt - the newest addition to the hosting line-up - recently confirmed to The Sun Online that Ant would be joining her and Dec in Oz.

Last year's Queen of the Jungle told us: "I'm so excited to be back with Ant and Dec. I was texting Dec yesterday about it. I've been packed for three weeks. It's not long now."

She continued: "The intention is [that Ant will be there]. We’ve spoken yeah. He’s doing well."

The show has now been running a mammoth 15 years, and as ever it will last around three weeks.

As usual, speculation has been rife about which celebrities might be heading to Australia to test their mettle in the outback.

 Bosses were so keen to keep Ant on board that production on the series was pushed back for three weeks in order to give the TV star enough time to rest and recover ahead of his work commitments

So far three of this year's contestants have been revealed, with The Sun exclusively revealing both Made In Chelsea's Georgia Toffolo and Saturday's star Vanessa White have been lined-up.

Charlotte Crosby was confirmed as the the third star for the show when The Sun Online revealed how the success of past Geordie winners Vicky Pattison and Scarlett convinced bosses to offer the ex-Geordie Shore star a place.

A source told us: "She's nervous but so excited at the same time!

"She never thought she'd get a chance to go on the show because she thought they wouldn't take her on because she's done other reality shows like Big Brother.

"She's been telling her family and friends all about it and can't wait to get out there now."

Other names rumoured to be heading to Oz include the likes of Lauren Goodger, Stephen Bear, Alan Tichmarsh, Craig Charles, and Megan McKenna.

However, there has also been talk of past camp mates returning - the ones who didn't get very far, that is.

Both Spencer Matthews and Gemma Collins have been sounded out as possible names for this year's show.

Given that last year's winner, Scarlett, is returning to the show as a host, it's not entirely hard to believe bosses would rule out bringing back a former favourite.
